Historic Landmarks of Dijon

Explore the architectural legacy of the former capital of the Dukes of Burgundy. This collection features soaring Gothic cathedrals, the 18th-century Porte Guillaume triumphal arch, and numerous "hôtels particuliers"—grand private mansions often topped with Burgundy's signature glazed-tile roofs. Highlights include the 15th-century half-timbered Maison Millière, the Art Nouveau bandstand in Place du Président-Wilson, and the repurposed Pernot biscuit factory. These landmarks showcase Dijon’s transition from a medieval stronghold to a center of Enlightenment-era elegance and industrial growth.
